Here's the one I bought and couldn't be happier after dicking around with cheaper cabinets!
This thing doesn't leak a spec of my Aluminum Oxide!

I have the same one as cigarcop. I am very happy with it. And TP tools was easy to deal with. It was well packaged so I didn't have to deal with a bent or damaged cabinet that doesn't hold a seal.(been there done that)

P.S. Just like most tools, DON'T TELL YOUR FRIENDS YOU HAVE ONE!!! I think my friend has stripped his entire 1956 Chevy in it.

Tp tools is best place to get one, they have different sizes... they are all better than the lower end stuff... tp is like the lower end of shit that actually works right so ive been told.. ill be buying mine here too.. ive done a good handful of research on em.. best bang for your buck here..

I bought a Grizzly cabinet big enough to do 32" barrels. This is the only piece of equipment that pays for itself on a quarterly basis.

Most blast cabinets are all the same just make sure it has good lighting, dust collection, gaskets, and replacement parts are available.
More important I think is to spend money on a good compressor and water trap. Make sure you buy a compressor with at least a 25 cfm rating or at least what your blast cabinet is rated for.

Yep, TP tools and pick one. Mine has a door on each side and I like that rather than the top opening. It's probably the same one someone pictured above. A 960 of some version. If I rember right at the time it was in the $1100-$1400 range but well worth it. They can never be to big. I teed the air supply line, ran another line and drilled a hole and ran another hose with a gromet inside with a cheap blow gun so I can blow my parts clean when done and let the dust collector do the work.

Check out Trinco sand blast cabinets they are very high quality and have great lighting already in them.I have owned mine for 15 years and it is the best one I have ever used. I bought it at MSC.
